Amy Bardwell, President of CentralCHRIE
Welcome to CentralCHRIE!
Hello all,
I am very excited to serve as the CentralCHRIE Federation President for the 2023-2024 term. My name is Amy Bardwell, I am an Associate Professor at Illinois State University, where I am actively engaged in curriculum development and program coordination for the Food & Beverage Management major. I have also had the opportunity to serve on the CentralCHRIE board of directors since 2020, initially as the Director of Education (2020-2022), and then as the Vice President (2022-2023). I am looking forward to this year and the opportunities it presents for CentralCHRIE.
It was great seeing many of you at the annual conference in Phoenix, AZ this summer. Thank you to everyone who voted in the CentralCHRIE elections. Please join me in congratulating our new board members and welcoming back our returning board members.
